  2. So, they're well armed, Daryl's at the wheel of a 10 ton truck, with only 8 or 10 bikers lined up stationary in middle of road like bowling pins, and he stops?   And not only that, after being verbally threatened, they all get out to powwow?   Puleeese....   - OS

  4. Haha! I love the reactions. :-) What you see is what a crazy sense of humor and a complete lack of pride can do to a man, haha! The story take place in an old gold mining town's saloon, and I'm going to be playing a grizzled old miner who is a small part of the story, but also the narrator. I get that some folks are too high-brow to enjoy a little tongue-in-cheek goofiness and will scoff at this kind of thing. That's cool. Plenty of other folks are just crazy enough to laugh at it too, and maybe show up to take in another twist on how Jesus' birth at Christmas was not only a great event in its time, but a story of personal salvation for anyone who will accept Him. :-)

  7. I don't have one but I have seen in older homes in Cincinnati a Steel rod that had a plate in the flooring to hold the bottom and a plate in the door to hold the other end.  I doubt you can break through them.   A simpler solution would be a  2x4 that slips into brackets on the frame (assuming your door opens in) If it opens out then add brackets to the door itself.   If the burglar is determined the best you can do is hope to slow them down.

  9. My Santa shops this early ... My wife is always saying there isn't a "safe" way to combine two particular interests of mine ... guns and bourbon/whiskey. Well Santa had the right answer with his gift: whiskey bullets! And also a credit card survival tool I had mentioned in a thread some time back. I couldn't be more pleased with my Santa. He did a great job!! :) thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15.   The new manufacture XTP stuff from Freedom should be quite comparable to the XTP loads from Hornady. Same bullet, comparable powder load with bout same claimed velocity.   I've had no trouble with Freedom's reloaded stuff. I see them about the same as Georgia Arms' Canned Heat, have shot a lot of that too.  Georgia Arms also offers new manufacture stuff with Speer's latest highfalutin SD bullet, a similar type deal to Freedom's Hornady bullet, and I've shot some of that too, and have some stashed besides.   I'd posit the higher end stuff you got from Freedom is going to be just as reliable and effective, and worth what you paid.   edit: btw, Freedom has 5% off with free shipping for today's Cyber Monday. The cheaper stuff pretty well picked over already, but I did get 500 rounds of new .223 soft point, been meaning to score some for my AR pistol configs after all the Russian plants seem to have quit making it.   - OS

  17. The arguement was that some prosecutor could try to argue you wanted to kill someone (or a similiar asinine assertion) by carrying hand loads. That is a load of crap. You can use that arguement for the use of lights, optics, night sights, compensators and what have you. End of the day is if you are confident in your reloads and they offer the best performance in your EDC then carry them. However being that you dont reload just carry some premium HD ammo. I dont care about advanced statistics and data - a .22LR will put someone down with good shot placement. Personally I reload quite a bit but always carry Hornady Crit Defense rds for my 9mm, 357SIG and 45ACP Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

  18. I've had my own reloads fail to fire, probably due to bad primers. I've had factory target ammo fail to fire and to come apart in my pocket. I've never had any problem with premium carry ammo from Winchester, Remington and Federal. That's why I carry the expensive stuff - my life is worth it.

  19. The past few months have sucked a little more than others, having lost our 10-year-old male Doberman and our 10-year-old female Boston Terror [sic] within two months of each other. Bostons are highly social animals and become very attached to their people and to other animals that live with them. The vet says the Boston passed after the Doberman pretty much due to grief and depression. Very sad. After the Doberman passed, and before the Boston stopped eating, we contacted a few local rescues to see if we could find her another "big dog" friend. Sadly none of them responded to us quickly enough. MrsMonkeyMan put us in touch with a wonderful lady who owns a combination training org, breeder AND rescue of Dutch Shepherds and we seriously considered that as an option although my uncle in VA, a retired SWAT officer, K9 handler and trainer, told us that a Dutchie might be a little more "high octane" than we wanted. Others here with experience with the breed echoed those concerns in this thread too. While a Dutch Shep is not off the table entirely for us, one of the local rescues did get back in touch with us. To make a long story short, here is our new fur baby. We call her "Mina" as it's a perfectly good German name for a perfectly good German lass. She's about 5 years old and is even pedigreed. She learned her name quickly, has chosen me as "her person" in the family, and watches over our 2-yr old daughter like a guardian. She even endures my daughter laying on top of her. (I'm pretty sure she enjoys it)

  25. I had a cheap aluminum "door bar" like Mike described, it was some cheapo ratcheting aluminum fork with a rubber pivot pad on the bottom. Kept douches from busting in my door at EOD school. It was like $15 dollars and I replaced the cheap aluminum pins with stainless steel rods and put epoxy and machine screws on the fork part - NO ONE got through that thing. If someone is determined theyll kick it down at the hinges but it sure as hell will slow someone down quite a bit. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

  31. Florida panthers are the same species as mountain lions, cougars, pumas, catamounts--Puma concolor; it is further classified but disputed as a subspecies.  In other words, it is currently treated as "more special" than other populations, even though it may not be.    If any population of Puma concolor was discovered east of the Mississippi outside Florida, it would basically automatically be classified as endangered since the USFWS used to recognize a separate eastern cougar subspecies as different than the Florida panther subspecies.  So any confirmed eastern cougars would either be the last know individual of a near extinct population, or it would be classified as a Florida panther outside of Florida.  They would have admit they were wrong at that point, and would we put it past our government to punish an individual who brought such concrete evidence to light?    I would still advise not to shoot one without a good reason because of the legal reprucussions.

  32. Yeah bad idea. Might find someone who will let you use their machine but youd have to provide the CAD file and be the one who pressed the button. Its not too hard to do on your own - renting CNC time you might be better off buying a stripped lower from Anderson Mfg Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

  34. I think the major concerns have been thoughtfully addressed.   I carry factory loads in my semi-auto's...but carry handloads in my J Frame revolver because what I choose for my revolver is no longer manufactured.   If I couldn't get my preferred factory ammo, I wouldn't hesitate to carry handloads that I trust. But that's my decision alone.   Unscrupulous attorneys will do as they always do.  I can articulate why I do what I do and assume that risk.   Handgun rounds are horribly ineffective when compared to rifle or shotgun rounds. So multiple accurate shots are what counts in the final tally. Like comms said...a well placed .22 can kill a person...but there are plenty of examples of all handgun calibers and/or bullets failing. It's just a reality.   My advice is to carry whatever you trust. And practice with it or a reasonable facsimile a lot.   Good Luck and stay safe. We live in "interesting times"...

  35.   Really have to call the Ruger Mark I and II a great choice. Also consider the 22/45 series. A bit more money, but great pistols.

  37. I also vote for a Ruger Mark, maybe a Mark II.  You should be able to find one, at least the standard 4" tapered barrel version, for that price.   They are made of steel and will last forever.

  39. It has to come up. Proper preparation is key to any garage/ shop floor holding up over time. We did the floor in the shop at work, brought in a crew that shotblasted the brand new concrete to get it clean enough for the coating to adhere correctly.

  42. Just wanted to do a quick update I made about 25 pounds of sausage using Sidinman's recipe.  I did change up a few things.  I used powdered mustard instead of mustard seeds and I added cheese and jalapenos.  I cooked the sausage in two batches the first at 350 for about an hour and 15 minutes.  I cooked the second batch at  300 for an hour and it was much better.  I will be using sausage casings in the future as the wax paper left a huge mess.  I love the sausage and have gotten nothing but compliments on it.

  43. I suppose we part ways on this one Mike. I washed my hands of the majority of my "blood relatives" many moons ago. I had had enough of their narcissistic, deluded over inflated ego. To me, family ain't got squat to do with similar DNA markers and common blood types. If it DOES and I'm wrong, then piss on the paradigm of "family". Life is too short to be tormented over some silly sense of loyalty to a bloodline. How ridiculous is it to spend time with people you can't stand to be within 100 yards of, all for the respect of common ancestors? You earn your right to be family, it's not handed to you at birth. Not for me anyway.

  44. Being family doesn't mean I will put up with more. If they are good family I will but if they are not I view them as any other POS. Blood doesn't make the bond any closer than with any other person. The ONLY family I have now is my wife, my son, his wife, her brother and our granddaughter....that is it. All others can go to hell. I have seen family members hurt their family more so than complete strangers. Both mine as well as other families. It is sad but the ones who hurt me more than anyone else were also the ones who were my family.

  48. My wife and I have decided to start buying up solar panels as we can afford them. Eventually we will have everything we need to get off the grid completely. We might also find a wind generator as we live on the side of a mountain that constantly has winds blowing.   We are also going to put in gardens and buy birds this spring. I cannot wait to have a bunch of guinea fowl, they are the worlds best watch dogs.
